chzblck··on Launch HN: Magnitude (YC S25) – Self-optimizing inference engine for agents
Sounds interesting would love to test it out but here's what I got when I first tried to get some models downloaded.

On a 64gb Ram and 5080 machine the biggest model suggested was Qwen 9B

chzblck··on Where's the "Intelligence Explosion"?
I am a smooth brained operator. very much the definition of vibecoding.

Last night I was able to give claude a task and they increased the classification accuracy from

81.3/89.9/92.1 to 90.9/99.3/99.6

In a little over 2 hours. In a task that up until opus 5.5 I was doing by hand/manually. and the day before was able to get the first results.

The intelligence explosion may just be user error.
